Hi all,

I just upgraded one of my servers and I'm having a bit of trouble
getting some of the kerberos authentication bits working.
Specifically, any Kerberos instance run out of a v5srvtab doesn't work
so well. Using stashed tickets or normal principals worked fine.
Gritty details follow.

Peter

Here are details from the specific v5srvtab's...
[root@sensei postgres]# klist -k -t /etc/v5srvtab.wsbackup
Keytab name: FILE:/etc/v5srvtab.wsbackup
KVNO Timestamp         Principal
---- ----------------- --------------------------------------------------------

[root@sensei postgres]# klist -k -t /etc/v5srvtab
Keytab name: FILE:/etc/v5srvtab
KVNO Timestamp         Principal

   8 12/20/07 15:56:11 postgres/sensei.cs.wisc.edu@CS.WISC.EDU

Here's the error from the syslog...
Apr 17 11:18:39 sensei postgres[4486]: [3-1] LOG:  connection

Here's the relevant bit from my pg_hba.conf. For compatibility, I'm
using krb5 instead of gss until everything is upgraded from 8.2. If
using gss authentication will work, please let me know.
hostssl all         all         128.105.0.0/16     krb5
hostssl all         all         198.133.224.0/24   krb5

And from postgresql.conf...
# - Security & Authentication -

#authentication_timeout = 1min          # 1s-600s
ssl = on                                # (change requires restart)
#ssl_ciphers = 'ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:@STRENGTH'      # Allowed SSL ciphers
                                        # (change requires restart)
#password_encryption = on
krb_realm = 'CS.WISC.EDU'
#db_user_namespace = off

# Kerberos and GSSAPI
krb_server_keyfile = '/etc/v5srvtab.postgres'   # (change requires restart)
#krb_srvname = 'postgres'               # (change requires restart, kerberos onl
y)
#krb_server_hostname = ''               # empty string matches any keytab entry
                                        # (change requires restart, kerberos onl
